This is a poster to reinforce the year 3 science topic: Forces and magnets. The beautifully designed poster is packed full of information and can be either used for revision or as part of a display in your classroom. PLEASE NOTE: The misalignment in the 2nd preview (the Word version) is not a reflection of how it looks, but a TES issue with generating previews.

Notice that some forces need contact between 2 objects, but magnetic forces can act at a distance
Observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others
Compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet, and identify some magnetic materials
Describe magnets as having 2 poles
Predict whether 2 magnets will attract or repel each other, depending on which poles are facing
